PARK LANE NOVEMDER. 1 8, 1 9 b 1 nel project has had the qualities of both fantasy and nightmare-a thing at once of airy grace and claustrophobIc horror; a long, bright kaleidoscope of promoters' promises, and a cavern resounding with Cyclopean bellowing. Proponents of the tunnel have called it an end to seasick- ness and a hoon to peace, international understanding, and trade, and potential- ly the grt:atest civil-engineering feat of their particular century. Opponents have referred to It tartly as a "mischie- vous project," and have denounced it as a military menace that would enable the French (or the Germans) to invade England. ThIs prospect, in 1914, caused one prominent English anti- . tunneller, Admiral Sir Algernon de : Horsey, to characterize the pro-tun- nellers as "those poor creatures who have no stomach for an hour's sea pas- sage, and who think retention of their dinners more important than the safety of their country." Over the years, anti- tunnel forces have used as ammunition an extraordinary variety of further arguments, ranging from the possibility of customs difficulties at each end of the tunnel to the prediction that a Channel tunnel would make it easier for inter- national Socialists to commingle and conspIre. If the proponents and promoters of the tunnel have never quite succeeded in putting their project across in all the years, they have never quitt: given up trying, either, and now, in a ne",'" era of rockets, air ferries, and the European Common Market, the pro-tunnel forces are at it again, harder than ever. In April, 1960, in London, an organiza- tion called the Channel Tunnel Study Group, representing British, French, dnd American interests, announced a new series of proposals for a Channel tunnel, based on a number of recent elaborate studies of the subject. The proposals called for twin side-by-side all- electric railway tunnels, either bored or immersed, with trains that would carry passengers and provide piggyback trans- port, on flatcars, for autos, huses, and trucks. (While an automobile tunnel could bt: constructed, engint:ers say that the problem of ventilating it would make it prohibItively expensive.) The bored double tunnel would be about thirty-two miles long between portals, and would be by far the longest traffic tunnel, of either the underwater or the under-mountain variety, in the world. (The longest underwater tunnel in ex- Istence is the 2.2-mile railroad tunnel under the Mersey, connecting Liverpool and Birkenhead; the longest under- mountain tunnel is the 12.3-mile Sim-
